Manganese ore (30% or more but below 35%)

Manganese ore, 30% or more but below 35% manganese content

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2602 00 50 (manganese ore with 30% or more but below 35% manganese content, calculated on dry weight) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other manganese ore and concentrate tariff lines within Chapter 26, differentiated by manganese content grade, may carry distinct duty rates or compliance requirements.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

Classification within Chapter 26 manganese ore tariff lines turns on the dry-weight manganese content assay reported in the certificate of analysis; a discrepancy between the declared grade and the customs laboratory result triggers re-classification and retrospective duty recovery. Ferruginous manganese ores and concentrates carrying 20% or more manganese are all captured within heading 2602, but the specific content band determines the tariff line. Ensure the certificate of analysis from the exporter explicitly states the dry-weight manganese percentage before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 2602 00 50 require any pre-import registration?
A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.
What changes if the manganese content is 35% or above?
A higher manganese content places the ore in a different tariff line within Chapter 26, which may attract a different basic customs duty rate and must be declared accordingly on the bill of entry.
